Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ratatouille Soup
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped yellow onions and leeks, stirring frequently until they are softened and translucent, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Next, add the chopped brown mushrooms and garlic to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn a golden brown. Season with a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
- Stir in the cubed potatoes, ensuring they are well mixed with the mushroom and onion mixture. Pour in 5 cups of veggie broth and half a cup of dry white wine, if using. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream until fully melted.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly, then use a stick blender to blend the mixture until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the hot soup into bowls and garnish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and a few fresh herbs.
